About this Event
The Alvarez family is back! One Day at a Time cast and executive producers will reunite for a special charity table read on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 2:00pm at the Saban Media Center in North Hollywood.
The cast will be reading unproduced scripts from season four. One Day at A Time’s former Producer, Sandi Hochman, and Executive Producers, Gloria Calderón Kellett, Mike Royce and Brent Miller are producing the event. All proceeds will go to People For The American Way Foundation, an organization founded by Norman Lear that is committed to defending our freedoms.
“Reuniting our One Day at a Time cast to bring these unaired, unshot episodes to life - including what would have been our series finale - is a powerful reminder of the magic of Norman Lear and his work,” said co-showrunners and executive producers Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce. “It was an honor to bring this Latine family to the screen, and this reading is not just a celebration, but a chance to connect with our incredible fans once more and support a cause close to our hearts, People For The American Way Foundation, another of Norman’s brainchildren. Together, we honor Norman's legacy, our beloved show and a community that has always supported us.”
“Norman Lear was brilliant at portraying loving families of all kinds, and he was adamant that all kinds of families, all kinds of Americans, deserve to be treated with respect and dignity and share in the blessings of liberty,” said People For the American Way Foundation President Svante Myrick. “We are grateful to the producers and cast of One Day at a Time for helping People For the American Way Foundation carry on Norman’s work of defending our democracy and ensuring that ‘We, the People’ includes all the people.”
The entire cast will come together including Justina Machado as “Penelope,” Rita Moreno as “Lydia,” Stephen Tobolowsky as “Dr. Berkowitz,” Todd Grinnell as “Schneider,” Isabella Gomez as “Elena,” Marcel Ruiz as “Alex,” India de Beaufort as “Avery,” Sheridan Pierce as “Syd” and Ed Quinn as “Max.” Stage direction will be read by co-showrunner and executive producer, Gloria Calderón Kellett.
The cast will be reading season four episodes titled, “Church and Statement,” written by Sebastian Jones, “Best Birthday,” written by Vincent Brown & Dan Signer and the series finale “Dreams,” written by Sebastian Jones & Brigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz.
